how to transfer a property deed from a deceased relative

[Tiffany]

To transfer a deceased relative's property deed, the process depends on whether a will, trust, or TOD deed exists. With a will, the probate court appoints an executor to manage the transfer. Without a will, a court-appointed administrator distributes the property according to state law. If a TOD deed is in place, the property passes directly to the named beneficiary without probate.
